Synopsis for "Free Faces"
Two-Face breaks out of Arkham Asylum with the help of a mesmerized lawyer, who was sent by members of his gang. Once outside, the master criminal resumes his criminal activities while Batman and Catwoman go out and patrol the night city, hoping to capture the last remaining members of the False Face Society.
Meanwhile, Jason Todd has been underperforming at social studies as a result of his crush with his classmate, Rena. When he takes her to Wayne Manor, he almost reveals his secret to her, but Alfred stops him. After the incident, Jason still wants to prove his value and goes out as Robin in order to stop a drug dealer from selling drugs to kids of his school. Unfortunately, Robin is beaten to the place by Two-Face and his goons, who take the drug dealer out of action and steal all his ill-gotten money. Capturing the drug dealer, Robin gets ready to inform Batman about Two-Face's activities.
